A baseball player went up to bat 250
times in a season. He hit the ball 100
times. Find the rate of balls hit to times at bat. Express as a simplified fraction.
The rate of balls hit to times at bat is given by the fraction:
(100/250)
To simplify, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 50:
(100/250) = (2/5)
Therefore, the rate of balls hit to times at bat is 2/5.
